Honda Motorcycle VF700S Sabre headlight bulbs utilize a 9003 size for both high and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 1984 to 1985 production years with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 9003 is a dual-filament halogen bulb operating at 12 volts, with a high beam output of 60 watts and a low beam output of 55 watts. It uses a P43t base, which is a standardized bayonet-style fitting common in automotive and motorcycle lighting applications.
The 9003 designation follows the ANSI standard recognized in the United States and Canada, making it a regionally specific classification rather than a universal international one.
The Honda Motorcycle VF700S Sabre uses the 9003 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 1984-1985 model years.
Because the high beam and low beam functions are served by a single 9003 bulb in each position, the two filaments within that bulb handle both lighting modes rather than requiring separate bulbs for each function.
The shared 9003 fitment across both headlight positions means a single bulb type serves the entire headlight assembly, with no variation between the high and low beam sockets on this motorcycle.
